her name means jewel of beautiful grace

She prefers Annabella Jewel Aja though.7 lbs, 4 oz, 20 inches longHer eyelashes are amazingly LONG and gorgeous.She's got long skinny feet like her daddy and a full head of black hair.She has her moms round face, happy to be here, and looks forward to meeting you.

We got to the hospital today at 930am...and met our daughter at 1:00 exactly.Lindsay is rockstar mom of the year, without question, a la naturale baby - literally.After just pushing for under 90mins, pop.We love her and have waited for what seems like eternity to meet her, here she is...Haaappy Biiirrrthdaaay Annabeeellaaa!

Beautiful girl! Congratulations! Book recommendation for Jeremiah:The Daddy Almanac - full of great ideas for Dads.She is one beautiful kid. If she came out in 90 minutes I'll be praying that you two get to sleep through the night as well.You may start drinking coffee yet J!In HimDan Bode

Oh yeah, one more thing.I started a journal for each of the kids when they were in grade school. I would have done it sooner, but I didn't come up with it before that. I started one for Kaya when Jen told us she was pregnant. And I'm doing one for each of the other grandkids as well. I gave the girls theirs on their 18th birthdays. I just talked about what I wanted them to know about me most. I learned a lot from it, and continue to learn as I write to each of them. I hope it gives them a true sense of their legacy, but in the end it's just helping to satisfy my own desire to know them as much as possible and for them to know me when I go home. Just a thought.Dan
